-- Install package net-snmpd (name may differ based on your distribution)
-- Edit config file (by default this is /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf on Linux and
- usr/local/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf on FreeBSD) and replace whole content
- with following lines:
+- Install package net-snmpd (name may differ based on your distribution).
+- Replace config file (by default this is /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf on Linux and
+ /usr/local/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf on FreeBSD) with snmpd.conf supplied.

Before launching daemon make sure that there is no file /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf
-Delete it if exists. Ingoring to to so will fail SNMPv3 tests
+Delete it if exists. Ingoring to to so will fail SNMPv3 tests.
-Make snmpd bind on localhost only. To do so, pass '127.0.0.1' into it's startup arguments
-(see /etc/init.d/snmpd on Linux and set snmpd_flags="127.0.0.1" in rc.conf in FreeBSD).
-Otherwise your SNMP daemon will answer SNMPv3 messages from remote clients.
+- Launch snmpd (service snmpd start or /etc/init.d/snmpd start).
+ Alternatively you can start snmpd daemon using following command line:
+ sudo snmpd -C -c ./snmpd.conf -f -Le
-- Launch snmpd (service snmpd start or /etc/init.d/snmpd start)
